I want to first thank those before me that gave their lives to protect this country. Those that weren't able to make it home back to their families, their loved ones... all of them served to keep this country free. I salute each and every one of them for that sacrifice.
I've been currently serving for a little over seven years now, between the Marines (previously) and Army (currently). Regardless of branch, regardless of time in service, regardless of rank... every single one that is currently serving, those that retired, and those that have passed earn my respect. Thank you all that have came before me and are with me now.
Happy Veteran's Day to all.
